SUMMARY: Today on Mom to Mom, we’re creating DIY pool noodle pencils for back-to-school photos. This cute and inexpensive project uses pool noodles, preferably yellow, which can be spray-painted if necessary. Due to seasonal availability, ordering online might be your best bet. You’ll also need construction paper, letters, tape, scissors, and a hot glue gun. Cut the pool noodle to your desired height, wrap it in brown paper for the pencil tip, and add red and gray construction paper for the eraser. It’s a fun activity that may require patience, making it a great project for kids and friends. Share your ideas with Mom to Mom!
